NASHVILLE NATIONAL CEMETERY ______________ This cemetery is situated on the Gallatin pike, six miles from Nash­ ville, Tennessee, and is intersected by the Louisville and Nashville rail­ road, which divides it into nearly equal parts. It comprises about fifty-eight acres of beautifully undulating ground, a part of which is covered with a grove of stately forest trees. The avenues, nearly four miles in extent, are macadamized and graveled so as to form pleasant and delightful drives. A natural rivulet running through the grounds has been widened and deepened, and neatly walled up to form an outlet for drainage, as well as to serve as an ornamental water-course. The whole grounds are surrounded by a substantial picket fence. The total number of dead interred in the cemetery is sixteen thousand four hundred and eighty-six, of which twelve thousand four hundred and eighty-seven are known, and three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine unknown. Of white soldiers there are fourteen thousand five hundred and seventy-seven, and of colored one thousand nine hun­ dred and nine. The number of regiments represented is seven hundred and thirty, and of States and independent organizations thirty-one. The bodies interred in this cemetery have been gathered from an extensive region of country, along the Cumberland River from Carthage on the east to Clarksville on the west; from the line of the Louisville and Nashville and Northwestern railroad to the Tennessee River at John­ sonville; from the Edgefield and Kentucky and the Memphis branch of the Louisville and Nashville railroad; from Bowling Green to Clarksville; from the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad to Lavergne; and from all intermediate and adjacent country; from the Nashville battle-field, and many of the skirmish grounds in Southern Kentucky, comprising those originally collected and buried at Tompkinsville. The number of distinct burial places from which these bodies were taken is two hundred and fifty-one. A very large proportion of the dead in this cemetery, however, were transferred from the hospital burial grounds in and around the city of Nashville. A full and complete record of all the interments in this cemetery, together with a complete copy of all burial sheets, has been deposited at the cemetery for the information of friends and visitors. Plats of the cemetery, showing the arrangements of the grounds and the precise location of each grave, with the number to each, will be found on deposit in the office of the Quartermaster General, at Washington, and also a duplicate copy of the burial sheets. Persons desiring to visit this cemetery can reach it by railroad from Louisville or Nashville, stopping at Madison station, or by private con­ veyance from Nashville over the Gallatin pike. The superintendent in charge of this cemetery may be addressed through the Nashville post office. RECAPITULATION. NASHVILLE NATIONAL CEMETERY, TENNESSEE. States, &c. No. of regiments Known. Unknown.

Only the one (1) list that details the names of those men classed among the “Unknown” dead or taken home by friends is transcribed herein. The History Program, National Cemetery Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs has made every attempt to ensure the accuracy of the transcription presented here. However, some changes from the original were made to improve the readability and accessibility of the document. Changes include: adding state affiliations in the “Regiment” column; correcting letters that were printed upside down in the original; and replacing “do.” (meaning ditto) in the columns labeled “Rank”; “Regiment”; and “Original place of interment” with the rank, regiment and original location. Additionally, when no information was provided, “[Blank]” was inserted in the table cell. You may wish to consult the list in its original form either on-line or through your local library.
